The horror of The Evil Within will be unleashed in August

Horror fans and thrill-seekers alike will be delighted to know that Shinji Mikami’s next survival horror action game, The Evil Within, will be out at the end of August around the world.

Releasing on August 26th in North America and August 29th in Europe and related territories across PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, The Evil Within is directed by Resident Evil creator Shinji Mikami and developed at Tango Gameworks, a studio so promising that Bethesda Softworks owner Zenimax Media acquired the company years before we even learned about what it had in the pipeline.

According to Zenimax and Tango, The Evil Within “embodies the meaning of pure survival horror” and thanks to the high attention to detail in creating the game’s environments and monsters, you’re in for an anxiety-filled experience that will “bring you to the height of tension. With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action.”

We saw The Evil Within at E3 2013 with Shinji Mikami himself providing an explanation while acting out the action to make his point – read our preview over here and flip through El33tonline’s previous coverage of The Evil Within for more details, videos and screenshots.
